About

I make useful ceramics for simple pleasures – eating and drinking. I am enthused and energised by the connections between people and design. I work with earthenware, stoneware and porcelain clays. 

Originally from rural Galloway, Scotland, I live and work in Hackney, London. 

My work comes from what I love. I appreciate working in a material that can improve someone’s experience of a cup of coffee, an ice cream, a biscuit.

I get a lot of energy from collaborating with others, and I’m enthusiastic to see where a suggestion might go… Come on, what shall we make today?
